WELLS SIGNS WITH ESTENSON RACING
E
stenson Racing announced
that Ryan Wells will join the
team to compete in the Singles
class in 2019. The 2016 Singles
Champion will compete along-
side teammate Dallas Daniels,
who is one of the sport's top
amateurs.
"I'm super-excited because, as
soon as Estenson joined the flat
track world, everybody looked
at them as one of the dominant
teams from the get-go," Wells
said. "Definitely a dream team
for me to be on. To see how
well Kolby and the whole crew
works together, I'm just super-
excited to join them and hope-
fully everything meshes as good,
if not better, for me next year,
and I can win my second Singles
championship."
At just the young age of 15,
Daniels has already turned a lot
of heads. He made history this
year by being the first rider to
earn the prestigious amateur
accolade of the Nicky Hayden
Horizon Award in both flat track
and road racing during the same
year. Although Daniels does not
turn pro until mid-season next
year at the Lima Half-Mile, he
has spent a lot of time in the pad-
dock helping out his dad Nick
and has a good relationship with
Wells. And like Wells, he is eager
to get 2019 rolling.
"I'm looking forward to 2019
and to be on an Estenson Ya-
maha [YZ450F]," Daniels said.
"We pretty much planned from
the 250 days that we were going
by ourselves and doing what we
could, so to get an offer like this,
I'm super-excited. I just can't wait
to start testing and start getting
ready for Lima 2019." CN
